The city of Boynton Beach released new renderings of it’s highly-anticipated Town Square project since its final approval on March 13.

The $118,332,352 million project--which is a private and public partnership--will build a brand new fire station, an off-site police headquarters, a library and City Hall in a four-story building, an amphitheater, parking garages, apartments, retail space, and a hotel. It will also turn the historic high school into a cultural center with a 500-seat auditorium and restaurant space.

Town Square is about four blocks off Boynton Beach Boulevard east of Interstate 95. It stretches from Boynton Beach Boulevard south to Southeast Second Avenue and from Seacrest Boulevard east to Northeast First Street.

The new police station will be at High Ridge Road and Gateway Boulevard next to Fire Station 5, which is the city’s emergency operations center. The station will be two stories and 58,000 square feet.

As the city prepares to break ground on the project, city departments have already moved out of its current buildings and relocated to temporary ones. Public meetings will now be held at the Intracoastal Park Clubhouse on 2240 N. Federal Highway starting Sept. 4.
